Thanks again for all your support, here are some words and pictures describing the experience from the riders point of view! http://mtbmartin.blogspot.co.nz/2015/03/climbing-mt-everest-in-my-own-backyard.html
Cheers,

Thankyou so so much to all those that donated,
you got a lot of sweat (and maybe the odd man-tear) for your money, 132 laps of Bayview, 23 hours 49 minutes and 9258 metres of climbing to be exact! It was a BIG ride!
This is a huge boost to kickstart the fundraising campaign allowing these delightful girls to go down for the Jamboree. I'm sure there will be fewer dentists bills later in the year too as there will be less hard selling of girl guide biscuits as a result :)
You guys really made a difference during my Everesting attempt, any thoughts of pulling out (and there were a few) were quickly quashed when I thought about all the givealittle backers.
I will publish a blog on the experience but in the meantime there are some details in the Nelson Mail: fairfaxmedia.newspaperdirect.com/epaper/viewer.aspx?cid=1484
Thanks again,
Martin and the Atawhai Brownies and Guides :)
